Chivas USA defender Jonathan Bornstein, a native of Los Alamitos and
potential member of the United States National Team for the upcoming FIFA World
Cup in South Africa, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Sunday’s game
between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies at 1:05 p.m. PT at Dodgers
Stadium.

Bornstein, 25, is a graduate of Los Alamitos
High School and spent his
college years at Cal Poly Pomona and UCLA. Drafted in the fourth round of the
2006 MLS SuperDraft, the defender earned 2006 MLS Rookie of the Year honors,
and was named an MLS All-Star in 2007, 2008, and 2009. He has made 29 appearances
for the United States National Team, helping the squad win the 2007 Gold Cup
and earn second place in the 2009 Confederations Cup. The United States roster for the
upcoming FIFA World Cup will be named in the coming weeks.

The last Red-and-White player to toss out a ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium was Claudio Suarez, who had the honor on Aug. 11, 2008. The photo gallery for that event can be seen here.

Chivas USA will host the Houston Dynamo tonight at 7:30 p.m. PT on Armed Forces Night at The Home Depot Center.
The match will feature a special camouflage jersey for Chivas USA, as well as many other events
involving and honoring the Armed Forces. You can follow the action with the MLS Match Center, or watch on television in Southern California on KDOC and KWHY and listen on the radio at W Radio 690 AM.
